a. Visitor Approval

Institution Supplement

LEX-5267.08D January 22, 2016 Page 2

1) All inmates desiring to receive regular visits must submit a list of proposed visitors to the designated staff. Staff will compile an approved visiting list following suitable background checks of the proposed visitors. The Warden must approve visiting privileges for proposed visitors who did not have an existing relationship with the inmate prior to incarceration. The inmate can request the approval through unit management to the Warden for an official response.

2) When a proposed visitor is denied visiting privileges due to security concerns, extensive criminal history and nor no relationship prior to incarceration, the inmate will be notified. It is the responsibility of the inmate to notify the proposed visitor of the denial.

3) Visiting lists are limited to 10 approved friends and associates as visitors. Unit counselors will maintain the current approved visiting list for the inmate in record form located within the visitation room. It is up to the inmate to maintain and keep their visitation list up to date and may request updates as authorized through Unit Team.

4) WALSH ACT REQUIREMEN

The Unit Team will evaluate all inmates on their caseload and all incoming inmates to determine if they have an inmate who has been convicted of a sex offense involving a minor (WA CONV). Any inmate fitting this criterion will have the following annotation placed in the visiting program under the comments section: “this inmate was convicted of a sex offense involving a minor.” Any inmate identified as having a Walsh Act assignment involving a minor will have his/her visits closely monitored.

b. Location

1) The institution is located on the west side of metropolitan Lexington, Kentucky, on U. S. Highway 421 (Leestown Road), approximately four


miles from the intersection of Circle 4 Highway. The institution’s street address is: 3301 Leestown Road, Lexington, Kentucky, 40511, Telephone: (859) 255-6812. There is a sign at the entrance of the institution indicating you are entering a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility. Prior to reaching the main facility, there is a driveway to the left marked Satellite Camp (SCP). Designated signs for visitor parking are posted. Violators caught parking in other areas may be denied visiting privileges. Taxi service is available to the institution from the bus station and airport; however, public transportation is not available.

2) All visits (Special Visits as required) will be conducted in the visiting room of each facility. The patio area of the Satellite Camp may be utilized at the discretion of the institution.

3) Legal visits and Hold Over inmate visits (FMC) will be conducted in the visiting room at the FMC & SCP and during non-visiting hours and supervised by unit team members.

c. Visiting Hours

1) The following visiting schedule has been established for both facilities during the normal work week.

VISITING SCHEDULE FMC CAMP

Sunday 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Saturday 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Monday 2:25 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. NO VISITING

Thursday 2:25 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. NO VISITING

Friday 2:25 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. 5:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

2) In the event a regular visiting day falls on a Federal Holiday, all visiting will be held from 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.


3) During an institutional power outage, all visitations will be canceled due to security concerns.

Inmate social visitors will be processed through the Front Entrance until 30 minutes before standup count at the (FMC) and will continue processing after there is a good verbal count announced by Control. Visiting staff are required to have a completed out-count turned into the Control Center by 9:15 am on weekends and 3:15 pm during week days. Visitors will be notified during times of Count that the inmate will not report to the Visiting room until a clear Count has been completed. The Operations Lieutenant will coordinate closely with the Front Entrance Officer concerning the volume and flow of traffic at all times, being cognizant of the need to assign additional staff to the Front Entrance during peak traffic periods. Additionally, on Mondays, Thursday, and Fridays, the med screen staff will be assigned, to monitor traffic through the secondary screening site from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. A Lieutenant will be assigned, to monitor traffic through the Control Sallyport and Front Entrance from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., as deemed necessary. This Lieutenant may be any Lieutenant available, not necessarily the Activities Lieutenant.

d. Frequency of visitors and Number of Visits

Visiting is based on a points system. Visits that occur on weekdays are counted as two (2) points, and visits that occur on weekends and holidays count as four (4) points. Friday is considered a weekend day and four (4) points will be deducted at the FMC; however, only one (1) point will be deducted at the Satellite Camp for Friday visits. On occasions, the Warden may waive deducting points for some holiday visiting. A memorandum will be distributed when this occurs.

Inmates are granted a total of (12) visiting point per month. It is the inmate's responsibility to budget the allowable (12) points during each month.


The Associate Warden/Camp Administrator may, for extenuating circumstances, override the point system and grant an inmate visiting privileges. Prior approval must be obtained, and this will be documented in memorandum form, with a copy given to the Visiting Room Officers. Regardless of the amount of time spent in the visiting room (i.e., one hour or four hours), the mere entrance into the visiting room counts toward points being deducted.

1) Multiple visitors arriving at different times during the same visitation period will be processed as separate visits and points deducted as such. It is the inmate’s responsibility to make sure their visitors arrive at the same time.

2) Inmates at the FMC and Camp may have a total of five visitors, including children, at one time. If more than five visitors arrive to visit an inmate, the visitors will be required to alternate during the visit; however, visitors may not wait on institution grounds. The Associate Warden/Camp Administrator may approve additional visitors, in advance, for instances such as infrequent visits. Notification will be provided to the Visiting Room and Front Entrance Officers.

e. Maximum Capacity Procedures

If at any time the Visiting Room reaches maximum capacity (167 occupants at the FMC) the following early termination procedures will be followed:

1) The Operations Lieutenant and/or the Institution Duty Officer will be notified to evaluate the situation and determine which visits will be terminated.

2) Ordinarily, visitors determined to have traveled the shortest distance will be asked to leave first.

3) The time the visit began and the frequency of the visits will also be taken into consideration.


4) A memo detailing the procedures used for termination and other pertinent data will be prepared and routed to the Captain.

f. Identification/Records of Visitors

1) Upon arrival to the facility, all inmates will be provided visitor request forms in order to establish an approved visiting list. Immediate family members, verified in the inmate’s Pre-Sentence Investigation report, will ordinarily be approved.

2) All visitors (16 years and older) are required to present acceptable means of picture identification, prior to being admitted into the institution for a visit. The Visiting #1 officer will maintain control of all inmate visitors authorized identification and Title 18 form for the duration of the visit. At the conclusion of the Visit the Visiting #1 Officer will identify inmate Visitors utilizing the visitor identification.

Acceptable form of identification is a valid state or Government issued photo identification. Mexican consular identification cards (Matricula Consular) will not be accepted as a valid form of identification. Visitors without proper identification (photo identification) will not be permitted to visit. Front Entrance staff having any questions or concerns regarding acceptable identification will refer the matter to the Operations Lieutenant and/or the Institution Duty Officer.

3) All visitors less than 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or responsible adult over the age of 18.

4) Visitors will complete the Notification to Visitor Form - BP-224. The Visiting Room Officer will forward this form daily to the SIS.

5) All visitors must pass through and clear the screening procedures before entering the FMC. Visitors may be requested to submit to a pat


search, visual, and/or drug/narcotic test for the detection of contraband.

g. Random searches

This type of search may occur at any time, and is not based on any particular suspicion that a non- inmate is attempting to bring a prohibited object into a Bureau facility or Bureau grounds.

1) Random searches must be impartial and not discriminate among non-inmates on the basis of age, race, religion, national origin, or sex.

2) Non-inmates will be given the option of either consenting to random searches as a condition of entry, or refusing such searches and leaving Bureau grounds. However, if a non-inmate refuses to submit to a random search and expresses an intent to leave Bureau grounds, he or she may still be required to be searched if “reasonable suspicion” exists as described in paragraph (c) of this section.

3) Reasonable Suspicion Searches. Not with standing staff authority to conduct random searches, staff may also conduct reasonable suspicion searches to ensure the safety, security, and orderly operation of Bureau facilities, and protect the public. “Reasonable suspicion” exists if a staff member knows of facts and circumstances that warrant rational inferences by a person with correctional experience that a non-inmate may be engaged in, attempting, or about to engage in, criminal or other prohibited activity.

Procedures for handling persons, who refuse to submit to an authorized search, including persons attempting to leave Bureau facilities and grounds, are found in Sections 11 and 12 of Program Statement 5510.12.

Random selection of visitors for searching must be impartial and non-discriminatory. The concept of “random selection” includes either searching all visitors entering at a given time, or searching visitors according to a predetermined selection method, detailed below.


Staff may not randomly select visitors for searching by any other method, or search visitors out of the predetermined random selection order without reasonable suspicion and shift supervisor approval, as detailed below.

All visitors will be subject to a random pat search as part of the screening process. A random selection method must be established and documented in the Front Entrance Officer’s Log Book each day before searching visitors entering Bureau grounds and facilities. The SIA will ensure appropriate random selection methods are implemented on a yearly basis.

Except when the random selection method is “all visitors,” recommended predetermined selection methods include the following, using numbers between one and ten:

# “Every third visitor.” # “Search four, skip two.”

# “Search two, skip four, search three, skip four.”

Staff may not search visitors out of the predetermined random selection order unless reasonable suspicion indicates the visitor’s possible involvement with prohibited activities or objects.

h. Pat Search/Visual Search Log Book

The Wardens approval is needed for limited visual searches or Visual searches. The Operations Lieutenant and/or the IDO will contact the Captain in such circumstances.

When a visual search is performed based on reasonable suspicion, or when a visitor is pat searched out of established random order, a logbook entry must indicate:

-Date, time, and place the search is conducted.

-Persons involved (person being searched, staff conducting search, witnesses, if any).

-Circumstances justifying the search.


-Search results.

-Action taken, if any.

Visitors have the option of not submitting to the screening procedures; a pat search; however, refusal will bar the visitor from visiting on that date. Additionally, the Operations Lieutenant and/or Institution Duty Officer (IDO) will be notified of the refusal of any screening requirements. Good judgment will be exercised when dealing with members of the public with disabilities.

When a visitor is unable to clear the walk-through metal detector, a hand- held metal detector will be utilized by the Front Lobby Officer in an attempt to locate and clear the source. If the source cannot be cleared and/or identified, the Operations Lt or IDO will be notified to authorize a pat search. The shift supervisor’s approval is required prior to performing a pat search and the search must be documented as such in the Front Lobby Visual Pat Search Log Book. Whoever conducts the pat search must note what items(s) are setting off the metal detectors in the Front Lobby Visual Pat Search Log Book (i.e. name of visitor and item(s) setting off metal detector).

Some situations may not be remedied by a pat search, thus requiring a limited visual search.

For example, a concealed medical device (e.g. knee brace under clothing, or insulin delivery system) may trigger the walk-through and hand-held metal detectors.

In such case, a limited visual search will ordinarily be required to confirm the device’s presence and qualification as a permitted object. It is important that a limited visual search always be performed in a private area away from others, and by staff members of the same sex as the visitor being searched. The Warden’s authorization is required when conducting both limited visual searches and visual searches of persons based on reasonable suspicion.

Refusal on the part of the visitor at any point during the screening process will result in the visitor being denied entry into the facility.


All visitors at the FMC will be stamped with detection ink on one hand before entering the institution and will be black lighted before entering and exiting the institution Visiting Room or control Sallyport.

The Front Entrance Officer and the Camp Visiting Officer will maintain a record of all inmate visits on a daily basis. The visitation program will be utilized to maintain a computerized record of visits while the sign in log will suffice as a written record of visiting.

NOTE: It is the responsibility of the inmate to ensure visitors receive the visiting regulations (Attachment A), prior to visiting. (Camp inmates are to use Attachment B). These rules may be obtained from the Unit Counselor upon placement of visitors on the approved visiting list. Each visitation room will have the rules posted for visitors to view.

i. Special Visits

A special visit is a Warden approved visit and are ordinarily for a specific purpose and not of a reoccurring nature. Inmates can request the approval through unit management staff for an official response from the Warden:

1) Clergy, former or prospective employers, sponsors and parole advisors: Must be pre-approved and serve such purposes as assistance in release planning, counseling, and discussion of family problems.

Business Visitor: Must be pre-approved and will be conducted during regular visiting hours and supervised by visiting room officers.

Consular Visitor: Must be pre-approved and will be conducted during non-visiting hours and supervised by a unit team member.

2) A special visit may be pre-approved by the Warden for an authorized visitor to visit other


than at regularly established visiting times, or in excess of regularly permitted visits.

3) The Unit Manager will submit requests for special visits to the Warden. Unit staff will be responsible for supervising special visits when they are scheduled during non-visiting hours.

j. Attorney Visits (Legal)

1) Attorney visits will be coordinated and supervised by unit team staff when the Visiting Room is closed. Attorney visits may be conducted in areas that provide adequate unobstructed visual supervision.

2) The room where supervision is obstructed will be utilized for law enforcement visits only. These procedures apply for attorney visits with SHU inmates, as well as general population inmates.

a) During legal visits, attorneys may not directly provide legal documents to inmates. With prior approval, documents may be passed through the supervising staff member. Supervising staff will ensure the documents do not conceal or contain contraband.

b) The use of a recording device or audio players during attorney visits is permitted with prior approval by the Warden.

c) Audio tapes, CD’s, or DVD’s provided by an attorney for an inmate’s review, which constitute potential evidence in the inmate’s ongoing litigation will be processed as special legal mail being mailed to the inmate. Once opened in the presence of the inmate, the Unit Team member will take physical possession of the tapes, CD’s, or DVD’s, and check them out to the inmate until the review is complete. It will then be the responsibility of the inmate to mail the tapes back to their attorney.


k. Institutional Activities

Institutional activities must be maintained. Visits which unnecessarily interfere with institutional activities will not be allowed.

l. Visits for Inmates not in General Population

1) Inmates in the status of Admission, Holdover and Court Ordered Study: Inmates in Admission or Court Ordered Study classifications where there is neither a visiting list from a transferring institution, nor other verification of proposed visitors, are restricted to visits from immediate family only and will be conducted during normal visiting hours, as approved by Unit Team. Inmates in Hold Over status are restricted to visits from immediate family only and will be conducted on Tuesday or Wednesday during non-visiting hours, as approved by Unit Team. Holdover inmates housed in the Special Housing Unit wishing to visit will submit a COP-OUT to their respective Unit Team, specifying the date and time of the potential visit, a week prior to requested visit.

2) Inmates in Administrative Detention or Disciplinary Segregation Status: Generally, an inmate retains visiting privileges while in administrative detention or disciplinary segregation. However, visiting may be restricted or disallowed when an inmate (while in administrative detention or disciplinary segregation) is charged with or was found guilty of a prohibited act related to visiting guidelines, or has acted in a way that would reasonably indicate a threat to security or order in the Visiting Room. Loss of visiting privileges for any other reason may not occur unless the inmate is provided with a hearing by the Discipline Hearing Officer (DHO). The Unit Discipline Committee (UDC) may not impose a sanction of loss of visiting privileges for inmates in administrative detention or disciplinary segregation status.


Inmates housed in the Special Housing Unit will have their visits conducted via a video-conference station. Special Housing Unit inmates are afforded up to a 125 minute visit a day as listed below. In the event that multiple visitors arrive, the Video Conference rooms shall be filled on a first come first serve basis.

The inmate will be searched just as every other inmate prior to and at the end of the visit. The visit will be conducted within in a single cell, with no other inmates present and will last no longer than 2 hours unless otherwise approved.

Psychology: Inmates with Mental Health disorders that are on a current formal watch and are considered unstable, such as when on a formal Suicide Watch or S.R.M.P. in Special Housing Unit; will have their visits denied due to safety concerns and explained to the visitor, prior to their visit being denied. Reasons concerning the denial of a visit will be verified through Psychological Services. The Warden may approve as medically necessary visiting for inmates in F-4. The Chief Medical Officer or in his absence, the Health Services Administrator should review and provide


guidance to the Warden pertaining to limiting visits for inmates who are diagnosed with infectious diseases, i.e. MSRA, that could cause security/health concerns for visitors and staff.

Inmates with active MRSA requiring bandaging will be restricted from visitation until such time as they no longer require bandaging for wound care.

Inmates deemed to be “clinically deceased/brain dead” or unable to maintain their unsupported coherent faculties, may have visiting privileges restricted as deemed necessary.

This review will be conducted on a case-by-case basis. It is not permissible to bring food, packages, or gifts of any kind. No written messages may be exchanged. Documents or papers may not be examined or signed. Letter type transactions should be handled (as a matter of record) through correspondence.
